Enobi is a melee support, who uses his otherworldly eyes to confuse enemies, deny them vision and weaken their confidence in their ability to fight back. He creates various illusions to make the game harder for his enemies, and when played right, can create many openings for his own team.
Attributes: Support
Lore The world has many beasts of great physical form. While most appear that way, others know what their potentials hold, but are underestimated at that. The case of Enobi and the spectre is neither. While Enobi possesses minimal physical appearance, his power is not to be questioned. But this strength is facilitated by his unintended partner, the Lost Spectre.
It happened on the cold night Enobi spent in his collection room. He stood above his several perfectly formed masks, each carved of varying woods, and magics. Enobi’s favorite was held above the rest. The deep red, smooth mask, covered which donned black paint lines with delicate orange outlining. This mask, the only mask that only allowed vision through his left eye, was his favorite mask. But he did not create it. He discovered it one day, half buried and sinking into a dark bubbling swamp, late in the cold during his plans to rendezvous with his lover. While he hummed an old song happily, he began to hear whispers within the cold breeze that suddenly made it’s name in the room. Whispers that told him not to listen.
“Listen to what?” he wondered.
As the whispers built up, he noticed the shadows within the corners slowly coming together. It was as if he had been envisioning a demon building up it’s form out of nowhere, to devour him without a sound. But this was not the case. The shadows had begun to rise into a seemingly physical manifestation, that stretched as far as his waistline. Confused, but not afraid, he called out to the corner, seeking answers.
“What is this?” He spoke. “What is this?”
The shadows had begun to illuminate, releasing a appealing and magnificent turquoise light. Enobi was drawn to that which appeared before him.
“I am the Spectre King, my boy.” The shadow spoke. It’s voice did not match those that warned him to turn away.
“The Spectre King.” Enobi repeated. His interest peaked at a minimum level of interest, but the shadow continued.
“Your masks intrigue me.” He said. “Tell me about them.”
“I made them all.”
“All of them?”
Enobi paused. He turned to face the mysterious mask, gazing at it temporarily.
“No, actually.” He answered. “There is one I had not made.”
“So I figured.” The shadow responded. “That one stands out to me. It is... Perfect.”
Enobi, despite his conversation about the masks behind him, did not fail to press for answers from the shadow.
“Why are you here, King?” He asked. “Surely you have other places to be, than here, viewing my masks.”
“I’m here, because that is my mask you hold.” The shadow responded. “You have my mask sealed away from me, away from my grasp. Please return it to me.”
Enobi was initially reluctant to giving his favorite mask to the shadow in the wall. However, he came to realize that whatever this shadow truly was, it was nothing so simple as a prank or joke. He did not believe this spirit appeared with the intention of simply scaring him. Because of this, he accepted the request of the shadow.
“Where... do I take it?” He hesitated.
“Simply hand it to me.” The shade responded. Out of it’s linear likeness appeared a hand, dark like the umbral shadow. Enobi slowly approached the shade, with the mask in hand. He passed the mask to the shadow.
“You have my gratitude, human.” The shadow declared. “As a reward for your loyalty, and service, I think I will let you don this mask before I go.”
“That won’t be necessary.” He responded.
“You question me?” It asked. It’s voice had begun to melt away, lowering drastically in pitch, slowly. “This is a true honor. Do not resist.”
Enobi quickly retreated, trying to deny wearing the mask. To his surprise, the shade began to slowly approach, lightly and silently as if hovering above the creaking wood floor. From within the moving blackness, two bright red eyes were born. Enobi was unwise to glare into them, immediately losing the feeling within his legs. The moment he blinked, the lights had suddenly dimmed. He blinked again, and they were off. The only remaining light, was that which emanated from the turquoise spectre. Using all of the little strength he had left, he forced some feeling back into his legs, before he threw himself towards what he believed to be the door, but again, to his surprise, it was instead a sharp edge of his pristine collection of carving knives.
Enobi had impaled himself before his vision had suddenly come to reality, allowing him to realize what happened. His eyes widened, and he pulled himself from within the edge’s grasp. As he bled, he fell to the wooden floor, noticing the shadow approach him again.
“You will be my vessel.” The shadow spoke. Enobi could see it growing in size, higher and higher. It turned him on his back, and gently placed the blood red mask on his bleeding face.
“Who are you..?” Enobi barely asked, attempting to reach for his face to remove the mask. The shadow began to laugh subtly, moving itself towards the covered face of Enobi, as if attempting to breathe on him.
“I am just an illusive shadow.” It responded. “You should not have listened.”
Abilities
.:[Innate - Phantom Feet]:.
Enobi is not seen on the enemy minimap, unless in combat with an enemy champion.
If Enobi double clicks a spot that is between 4 and 10 seconds of walking distance, he will channel for 2 seconds. (Champion damage breaks this channel.) If the channel is complete, he will teleport to the spot, and gain 30/40/50/60% (Increases every 5 levels) movement speed that decays over 3 seconds. (60 second cooldown.)
(If Enobi teleports to a spot on the map where he can be seen, he is briefly displayed on the minimap.)
.:[Q - Optical Boost]:. Enobi boosts an ally's attack speed by 20/25/30/35/40% for 2 seconds. If they are below 50% health when activated, Enobi also reduces the duration of incoming CC against his ally by 25/30/35/40/45% for the duration.
If Enobi damages an enemy champion, the duration increases by 1.5 seconds, and the attack speed is boosted by 10%. This can occur up to 2 times.
If his ally damages an enemy champion, Enobi's cooldowns are reduced by 1 second. This can occur up to 4 times.
Cooldown: 18/16.5/15/13.5/12 seconds Mana Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 Target Range: 800
.:[W - Visual Extremes]:. Enobi disappears, becoming untargetable, and leaving behind a flock of Ravens which fly slowly in a line, dealing 90/130/170/210/250 (+30% of total AP) magic damage to all enemies they collide with. If he damages an enemy champion, he slows them by 20%. This slow gradually increases to 40/50/60/70/80% over 2.5 seconds. Additionally, Enobi's first attack against them within 3 seconds gains 300 range, and releases an ember, which deals an additional 35/55/75/95/115 true damage to the target.
Enobi reappears at the Raven's destination.
Cooldown: 20/18.5/17/15.5/14 seconds Mana Cost: 60 Range: Up to 600/650/700/750/800
.:[E - Illusion]:. Passive: Using Phantom Feet allows Enobi to reveal the 1/1/2/2/3 closest wards within 2000 range for 5 seconds.
Active: Enobi briefly channels, then releases a dark energy in a cone in front of him, which deals 70/110/150/190/230 (+40% of AP) magic damage to all enemy champions. Additionally, if they were facing Enobi at the time, they become nearsighted for 2 seconds, reducing their vision range to 300, but they are able to see only Enobi, no matter where he is.
Cooldown: 24/21/18/15/12 Mana Cost: 50/60/70/80/90 Range: 750
.:[R - The Second Eye]:. Enobi removes his mask for 8 seconds, revealing the second eye and unleashing his true power. He gains 3 charges, which allow him to recast The Second Eye up to 3 times.
Reactivating The Second Eye fires a dark pulse of energy from Enobi’s eye, which deals 150/300/450 (50% of AP) magic damage to all units in a line, but stops at the first enemy champion it hits. That champion will be cursed for 1 second, becoming untargetable and invulnerable. After the curse ends, they will be placed into complete Stasis for 2.5 seconds, also being unable to attack or move. Enemies hit by one pulse cannot be affected again, but can still block other incoming pulses.

Tips
Playing As Enobi
Enobi is able to perform best with a partner. Using Optical Boost, mutually aiding each other can provide you the best results for your team.
Because Phantom Feet scales with walking distance, you get more distance when teleporting with early boots, or Homeguard.
Enobi has nice base damage. Use this to build an early lead.
Playing Against Enobi
Always be prepred to turn around when Enobi is using Illusion.
Being blinded by Illusion could mean you're being lured into a trap. Be very considerate of where Enobi is moving.
If you're hit by Eye of the End, you have brief invincibility. Use this moment to think about what you can do.
